Review For Lapse!

Hi! I just got Lapse this morning and I love it! I just wish there was a way to find my recently deleted. I took a few pictures and I wasn’t sure if I wanted to keep them so I deleted them. Then I realized that I actually liked the pics. If any of you know how to get them back on Lapse, please tell me. No worries! I think adding the social media part would be nice, too!

The BEST disposable camera app!

I absolutely LOVE this app! It has the best filter for your pictures. However, I really miss the social media aspect of it! It was so fun getting to connect with friends with real pictures and also getting to see people all over the world. It was my favorite app, but now I forget about it. I know it is expensive to run the app with social media but PLEASE! PLEASE bring it back! I am absolutely positive that most people would be willing to pay for the app if we could just get it back. That’s how much it was loved. #makelapsegreatagain

I want the social media back

I loved this app until they removed the social media part. It’s just not as fun as it used to be. Yes a app doesn’t always have to have social media on it but this time it was really fun to have until it went away

PLEASE BRING SOCIAL BACK

I love lapse and thesocial feature made this my favorite app at a point in time. Now that it was taken away I forget to use it as much as I used to. Please bring it back. The app has so much potential and I know many people enjoyed using it too

FAQ

What does Lapse - Disposable Camera do?

This app turns your smartphone into a disposable camera. It allows you to take photos and then 'develop' them later, mimicking the experience of using a physical disposable camera. The focus is on spontaneous capture without the pressure of immediate editing or over-curation.

How does the 'shoot first, develop later' feature work?

This feature simulates the process of using a disposable camera. You take your photos, and they are not immediately available for viewing or editing. You have to wait for them to 'develop' within the app, encouraging a more mindful approach to photography and creating anticipation for the final images.

Is Lapse - Disposable Camera free to use?

Yes, the app is free to download and use. It does not feature in-app purchases or advertisements, offering a completely free experience for users to enjoy.

What kind of photos can I expect from this app?

The app aims to replicate the aesthetic of photos taken with disposable cameras. This often includes a slightly grainy texture, specific color tones, and a less polished look compared to digital photos. It's designed for capturing life's moments in a more authentic and uncurated way.

Can I create recaps of my memories?

Yes, the app allows you to create customizable recaps of your captured memories. This feature helps you relive your experiences by compiling your photos into personalized video summaries, offering a unique way to look back at your moments.
